Are you making these recovery mistakes?

I've worked with hundreds of women recovering from hysterectomies, and I've noticed some common patterns that can unintentionally slow healing:

  1. The all-or-nothing trap: Alternating between doing too much and then crashing into complete inactivity
     

  2. Ignoring body signals: Pushing through pain instead of seeing it as information to be listened to
     

  3. The perfect patient syndrome: Trying to follow every instruction perfectly without adapting to your unique needs
     

  4. Comparison confusion: Measuring your progress against someone else's timeline
     

  5. Postponing joy: Waiting until you're "fully recovered" to do things that bring you happiness

Do any of these sound familiar? They're incredibly common, and recognizing them is the first step toward a more balanced approach.

If you've fallen into one of these patterns, you're not alone—and it's never too late to adjust your course. If you need help, apply here to learn more about working together.
